She also urged that this issue will bring Narendra Modi to the creation of a new India, to end corruption.Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman responded aggressively on the Rafael aircraft deal for two days in the Lok Sabha. In her nearly two-hour speech, she made it clear that the deal was worth the price of the aircraft, on the other hand, in view of the country’s defense requirement, the government did not make any slowdown in the deal. In her aggressive style, she made it clear that the Congress would answer rather than ask questions. She also urged that do not compare apples with oranges.

A media report claims that the defense sector government company HAL is struggling with financial crisis and is forced to borrow money to pay its employees salaries. After this, Gandhi had targeted the government on Saturday.

Congress chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala tweeted on Sunday, “The Defence Minister was exposed. Defence Minister had claimed that HAL has been ordered to procure one lakh crore rupees but in fact HAL says that it did not get a single penny as no single order was signed. Even for the first time, HAL is forced to take a loan of Rs 1,000 crore to pay the salaries”.

Surjewala said this in reference to the media report that , “HAL was not able to get a single penny from one lakh crores off set contract because no order was signed.”
